IMPROVEMENT IN WAGON-SEAT SUPPORTS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES H. FELLOWS, of Alba, in the county of Bradfordand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvementin Wagon-Seats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of thisspecification, and to the letters and figures of reference markedthereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is a representation of a side view of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a sectional, and Fig. 3 is a top view of the same.

My invention has relation to the construction of wagon-seats; andconsists in the novel construction of a riser or support, which isadapted to be used in connection with my seatfastener or look for whichLetters Patent were granted me ,on the 8th day of August, 1871, and alsowith my Letters Patent bearing date May 4, 1868.-

The letter A of the drawing represents my riser, which I usually cast inone piece, of malleable iron or other Suitable metal. B B representflanges, which extend outward respectively to the right and left, asshown. These flanges B are intended to sit squarely upon the bed-plate,and thereby insure firmness in the connection of the seat therewith. O(J represent ears, adapted to fit in the fastenings for whichI havereceived Letters Patent, as above mentioned. The letters D Drepresent'extended arms projecting to the right and left, as shown, andwhich, in conjunction with the flat upper surface of the riser and theconnecting flanges, hereinafter mentioned, form the rest or bed-platefor the seat proper. The letters E and H, respectively, representflanges, upon which the seat proper rests, and to which it is connectedby means of bolts with nuts and screws or other proper fastenin gs. Theletters I represent braces, extending from the sides of the arch to theextensions D, and serve to give strength and firmness to the seat. Inconstructin g my seat-riser I cast the letters of the Words Fellows Pat.Fastener and Riser between the rims of the arch, as represented on thedrawing, which serve not only as braces and supports for the rims, butalso as an ornamental means of advertising.

What I claim as new is- The seat-riser herein described, having body A,flanges B, E, and H, arms D, and ears 0, constructed and arrangedsubstantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have JAS. H. FELLOWS.
